Controlled low blood pressure in spinal surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a way to keep blood pressure lower on purpose during spinal surgery. This might help reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusions during the operation. If you are having a specific type of spinal surgery and are generally healthy, you may be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Be generally healthy (classified as ASA I, II, or III by your doctor)
- Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 40
- Have normal or well-controlled blood pressure (below 140/90 mmHg) at the start
- Be scheduled for spinal surgery with 2 to 4 levels of metal screws and rods (instrumentation)

This study looks at how blood flow in your fingers relates to low blood pressure during knee surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for future patients.
This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
This study tests whether personalized blood pressure management during and after major surgery can reduce complications and death in older adults with heart or blood vessel risks. It aims to find the safest blood pressure targets for each patient.
This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This study tests whether an AI tool can help doctors better manage low blood pressure during planned surgeries. If you are having an elective surgery with general anesthesia and need an arterial line for monitoring, this trial may be for you.
This trial tests if a medicine taken before surgery can help prevent low blood pressure caused by spinal anesthesia. It is for people having planned leg or plastic surgeries.
